According to Screen Daily Warp Films has made several acquisitions at Cannes including the rights to Rachel Ward's Numbers, a supernatural thriller "about a young woman who sees the dates of strangers' deaths." Paul Fraser will adapt.
Warp is working with creative team Shynola, who will make the sci-fi thriller Redmen, adapted from the novel The Red Men by Matthew de Abaitua. Polly Stokes and Mary Burke will also produce the debut feature of BAFTA short winner Paul Wright. "'The Red Men' is at heart a novel about a character wrestling with his conscience, set against a pervasive and Orwellian vision of contemporary society: surveillance, automation, biotechnology, and their implications for our humanity.
